Re: Rostock Max V2 heated bed short

Were you using the right gauge of wire for the heated bed? It looks like the hot end wires are the thicker gauge as indicated by your photo.

Re: LokBuild - wow

Hi Joe, Have you used it with anything else but PLA yet? I really was hoping it would be as close to the perfect print surface as can be, but I am hearing mixed opinions about it. Lykle So far, after 15 or so prints it is good. Any residue scrapes off with a razor blade as would PEI. One problem - ...

Re: Rostock Max V3 Really having a hard time getting my first layer down

Looking at the photos I have to ask if the print is perfectly round? It seems off centre on the bed? Or is it oval in shape? The picture maybe skewing it a bit?

It leaves a nice matte finish. It seems to have similar surface to a thin flexible cutting board.

I am super impressed with this sheet of lokbuild and I don't impress easily! It is from a kickstarter campaign. http://www.LokBuild.com PLA with no heat sticks every time and pops off with a snap when ready. I'm curious about its longevity compared to PEI.

Thanks for posting this. I am giving it a try but find the transition from one layer height to another, with the variable layer tool, leaves a very noticeable line.

Cnc coolant mist

To all the guys with cnc machines: does anyone have a link or a DIY coolant mister and pump? I won't use it often but nice to have one on hand when I cut an aluminum plate.

Thanks

Re: Need Help | Print Messing Up

I would suspect a corrupt model. Run it through netfab. How does it look in the slicer preview? The slicer may perceive that part of the module as an area that needs bridging so it speed up.

Question about the new V3 style triple fan part cooling

How is this type of part cooling working out? So may part cooling fans try and direct the air straight at the nozzle tip. Is the "blast the whole area" idea ok? I am talking about the V3 tri-shaped cooling fans.

Did you clear the eeprom first? OR you could set you z height right in the eeprom.

Re: Proper Calibrating procedures in different setups

Joe, if you think a cartesian requires no calibration, I've got a bridge to sell I should clarify. My Cartesian, once calibrated, does not need calibrating again unless I do something to it. It has been in the same state since August and has not required calibration. I was pointing out that deltas ...

Re: Looking for more precision

You should build your own. Lots of places for parts and advise. I was looking for more precision too and have built 2 very accurate printers. One with a 300x300x400 and smaller 150 x150x200mm core xy that is dead on. I just use the max now for fun stuff.

Re: Silencing The noise

I was wondering if anyone has tried to lower the amount of noise this machine produces. I was thinking of dynamat lining the top section, or would it be unnecessary? Just a thought I installed these when my V3 was going together for the first time. https://www.matterhackers.com/store/printer-access...
